Einstein's View
EINSTEIN'S VIEW
Despite his genius for envisioning the farthest reaches of space and time, even the great theoretician Albert Einstein could not imagine that the universe had a beginning. When, using his general theory of relativity, he predicted that the universe should be collapsing under the pull of gravity among galaxies, Einstein arbitrarily altered his equations to maintain an eternal, static universe.
